[Slab Route - Not grade C2 anymore, 3 kb]14m. C2 in the CC guide. Not as straight forward as when initially graded as the bottom of the slab has fallen off. There is now around 5 metres of vertical climbing in order to gain the slab (and first adequately placed bolt). Easy climbing once on the slab. Probably around C4 mark these days. *** An independent abseil is strongly recommended for this route. Being lowered off the slab into the void below will lead to significant abrasion to your rope against the right-hand edge of the slab.

The start of the slab is now particularly undercut. A small cave has now formed beneath the slab. The undercut chalk at the base of the slab is plagued with extensive cracks that suggest the slab may begin higher up in the near future.
